MoviePass, the national movie theater subscription service, is back from bankruptcy and under new ownership, and nearly every theater in Richmond is participating in the service.

Why it matters: 118 theaters in Virginia are participating, including the Byrd, CinéBistro, Movieland and Regal and AMC theaters, per WRIC.

How it works: MoviePass allows subscribers to see multiple films on the big screen for a set monthly price.

$10 for one to three movies.
$20 for three to seven movies.
$30 for five to 11 movies.
$40 for 30 movies.

Of note: MoviePass operates on a credit system, with weekdays and matinees "costing" fewer credits than weekend and evening shows. How many credits you use determines the number of films per tier.
